i need a AM2 CPU (dual,tri,quad anything 95w or less) Also a 512mb or greater stick of ddr2 any speed but 800 is preferred.
I just noticed that i have everything i need but a CPU to get another rig running.
I have a stick of ram but it is only 512mb so it wouldn't make for the best cruncher(but would be possible on a stripped down win XP install)

just a heads up to anyone that maybe willing to help i am flat broke.(nice way to make me feel like a bum)

CP- I still have the same stuff available to give. I no longer need any of the 1156 mounting gear (got it with my Megashadow), but I am looking for a 775 MB that supports 65nm C2D CPUs for this E2140 I want to build out

Heyas.. I dont do credit cards or any online purchasing. If you pay the shipping you can have these !
1x 1gb DDR2 800 pc Kingston value ram low profile
1x 512mb DDR2 533 with no label but looks like Apacer
1 Dlink Air plus xtreme G DWL- G650 wireless laptop card

I just registered with WCG today and Im wondering.. should I stick to F@H at least for now, or do some WCG aswell ?

This is why i am one for recommending Gigabyte so much. They make quality boards and back them with good bios support but there driver support isn't there at all BUT that isn't a problem as you can find the latest Nvidia and Realtek drivers easily.
Also there customer support isn't half bad. I have dealt with them a couple times when i was having some issues with my board and they helped me out faster then i thought it would be. (took ~2days of emailing tech support to get problem resolved)

Gigabyte is quite nice, except when it comes to coloring and BSEL-Mods...(they tend to read the cpuid, instead of the FSB the proc tells them.) Havent had a Gigabyte till now, but the one a buddy of me has seems to be quite ok, and wasnt expensive

it has been an amazing board best $110-ish i ever spent on hardware
it supports all 95w Phenom II based chips. I don't understand why 125w won't work when the older 90nm chips sucked 125w and it supports them.
gigabyte has done an amazing job keeping it updated for it's age (bought in mid 07)

do you remember seeing my overclocks on the X2 240 and 250? I used that board to do them (they both reached 4+ghz)

Yep, remember those, very impressive!
I'm surprised that it even supports the PhII chips...you'd never get that range of support with Intel boards.

I've also had a good experience with GB and their tech support....I'm probably going to get a Gigabyte GTS 450. Cheapest one after rebate, non-reference cooler, quiet, looks great, and a good warranty. Can't wait

Jr. I have a sweet i3 550 set up coming my way very soon. Ill have to get with you so we can get it dialed in. The person I am getting it from has clocked it 4.6GHz+ with pretty low voltage. Its going to be a 24/7 cruncher, so stability will be a must. Can't wait. Haven't decided on cooling yet though. Decisions decisions. :shadedshu

I was cooling this i3 on a stock cooler @ 4Ghz 1.21v and it was hitting 65C linpack. CM 212+ will be fine. Yeah it's not a problem hit me up via pm's. Just remember it's not the heat that kills these chips, it's the voltage. Oh and if you can OC an AMD chip you can OC the i3.

EDIT:

With the dark knight at 4.4Ghz 1.32v I hit 54C linpack, current settings stays at around 50C. Personal usage I'd say about 45C load.

Remember, iX series CPUs have very high heat tolerances... anything under 80c load (max load, Linpack) is supposed to be considered acceptable for 24/7 use. They take up to 100c but you really don't want to go there... kinda like video cards.
